Ten days after Jared sought out Dmitri Simes for his assistance in finding "experienced foreign policy professionals," they spoke again - just after Trump named the foreign policy team.
They had an in-person meeting just a few days later.
We're in Bizarro World. The U.S. attorney general is investigating "Spygate," which is strangely NOT when the Trump campaign was sharing their data with ACTUAL Russian spies.
Nothing to see here. Just the Trump campaign manager giving his Russian spy handler a briefing on the campaign.
"Thanks Rob, but this is inappropriate. We wouldn't accept help from Russia - or any other government - to win an election. That would be unpatriotic."
[then alternate Don Jr. proceeds to report the contact to the FBI].
What people keep getting wrong about January 6th is that the insurrection WASN'T only about a mob attacking the Capitol.
Jan-6 was just the Hail Mary after a long series of illegal actions - by Trump and many others - intended to overthrow the United States government
1/5
The insurrection was Lindsey Graham asking the Georgia SoS to illegally throw the state to Trump - IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.
The insurrection was Trump, Giuiliani et al attempting to overturn results in swing states - IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.
2/5
The insurrection was Fox News telling its viewers dozens and dozens of times that the election was stolen - WITH AN AIM OF OVERTHROWING THE GOVERNMENT.
The insurrection was Trump calling Michigan election officials to the Oval Office - IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.
3/5
1. Protect the votes of American minorities.
OR 2. Protect the votes of the Senate minority party.
The GOP has 100+ bills to strip voting rights.
Dems have bills that will restore them.
To pass Dems bill, we need to nuke the filibuster.
Manchin (1/25/21): "If I haven’t said it very plain... I want to basically say it for you. That I will not vote in this Congress, that’s two years, right? I will not vote" to change the filibuster.
Sinema (2/12/21): "I want to restore the 60-vote threshold for all elements of the Senate's work."
We should be protesting outside their offices non-stop.
Would you be willing to switch from your current cable provider to @YouTubeTV or another streaming service if it took Fox News out of its basic package, only including it as an optional add-on?
Fox played a major role in inspiring the 1/6 MAGA capitol insurrection.
"In the two weeks after Fox News called the election for Biden, the network’s hosts and guests cast doubt on the results at least 774 times."
We should call on @Youtubetv, @hulu, @GetSpectrum, @Uverse and other cable and streaming services to stop the injection of poison into our democracy. Allow Americans to choose to exclude Fox from their service.
